August Viva La Verve...

is in full swing.

Here is my second week card for Amber's Viva La Verve challenge with a {twist} of CASE a Verve Diva.

I searched the Verve Diva gallery and found lots of cards I wanted to CASE. Some of them for color, some for sketch, but I decided to do this card by diva Susan Liles. I meant to just use the sketch and as I got into the designing I found myself copying the details rather than the sketch. As weird as it may seem to some of you, I love to piece something together one small space at a time. This card took me a few days to get done because I knew I wanted to do the tri-flower background images and I had to get them stamped and colored THEN cut out. I really love how they came out.



Card Details:
Stamps: Beautiful Kindness, Wishful Elegance, Floral Symphony, SU Rough Edge Alphas, Background Sampler, HA Brushstrokes
Paper: LSS Haute Red, SU Chocolate Chip and Basic Black
Ink: StazOn Timber Brown, Ranger Walnut Stain Ink, Ruby Red, Creamy Caramel, Summer Sun, Prismacolor Markers
Accessories: Nestabilities Circle and Scallops, SU circle punch, AC Button Chestnut collection, AC Brown ribbon, DMC 535 Floss Thread, Sissix Tiny Leaves Die

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
